A base-ball match between the Atlantics, of Brookiyn, and tho Eurckas, of New-Jers ane off yesterday at the Capitoline grounds, Brookiyn. Several thousand persons were assembled as spectators. After an oxeiting and spirited game the Atlantics were declared the victors % 10 runs. The score standing, Atlantics, 30; Eurckas, ence of his great name and the support of his tran- scendent abilities, the success of the movement for g1 extension of the franchise in England may be regarded as assured. It is evident that the days of Tory exclu- siveness are nambered. SHALL THE VOTERS OF THE NORTH HAVL EQUAL RIGHTS WITH THE VOTERS oF THE SOUTH? One of the great questions to be decided at the Cor- gressional elections this fall is whether the voter of the North shall obtain equal rights with the voter of the South, or whether they are satisfied that the abo- lition of Slavery shall even increase the superior rights which the voters of the Southern States have thusfr enjoyed under the Constitution. The matter iss0 plain that properly presented it cannot fail to be understood by the dullest intellect. According to the law of the 23d of May, 1950, it ws enacted that the number of Representatives in Con gress should be 233; that the representative populs- tion [which means the whole number of free persont, excludiog Indians not taxed, with the addition of three- fifths of all other persons] determined by the censws of that year, and thereafter should be divided by sai number 253, and that the quotient so found should by the ratio of representation for tho several States. Thy ratio thus ascertained under the census of 1860 was 124,153, and upon this pasis the 233 Representatives were apportioned among the States. The number was. however, increased by the act of March 4, 1362, from 233 to 241, by allowing one additional Representative to each of the following States: Iilinois, Towa, Ken- tucky, Minuesota, Ohio, Pennsylvauis, Rhode Island and Vermont. According to this apportionment, the Northern and Southern States had the following number of Congresswen: NORTHERN STATES. California. . 3| New-Jersey...

The ratio of representation in this case would be 129,245, and the representation of the Northern and Southern States in Congress would be as follows: NORTHERN STATES. 3 Now-Jersey ..

BENtox. Auditor, It will be seen, from an extract we publish this morning fom a late French journal, that Mr, Glad- stone has given satisfactory assurance to the leaders of the Refam League of his sympathy with the prin- ciples they have adopted as the basis of the agitation or an amerded Parliamentary representation. This is an important point gained. As we said yosterday, in an articls on the subject, the exigencies of Mr. Glad- stone's position as a public man oceupying a highly re- sponsible position render it inexpedient that he should take a prominent and active pai’ in the present move- meat; but he is nevertheless a hearty co-worker in the good cause, With Bright at the head of the move- meut out of dovs, and Gladsioue giving it LG fnfu- should raise a clamor among sober people. Mr. Caz- Iyle is fond of patting such bloody epics as the Slav holders’ Rebellion and the massacre of the Jamsica negroes in nutshells of his pet contrivance; but when men’s heads ace the shells, and these shells get broken withont due cause, what wonder that the world is a little clamorous about its epics? Carlyle belicy, in musele, power, force, arisicracy, slave-dsivin and kingeraft—in everything that scems strong: but he don't believe in allowing the people the gymnastic exercise of free Mstitutions, the fair play of voting, and he has no notion that you can make a natural nobleman of & mechanic of you will only give him a chance. Arist the money, tho land, the laws, the chaprves, and t! fore (bink gll who think with M, Cadlyle) showld | res | have the ruling, mind, manners, and muscle, henee- forth and forevermore. We suppose Gov. Eyre's bra- tality is applauded not only by all the Carlyleists, but by all the noodle noblemen and Tom Noddies in En- gland. Itis bad to see astrong man the leader of fops and the advocate of bullies, If Mr. Carlyle will but come to America, he will see with a liberal sight by the time our elections are over what respectability and dignity may exist among a common people, what majesty thore is in masses, what truth in a popular fiat, and to what extent bullying in high places is tolerated among a free people. MR. RAYMOND AGAIN WITH US. Mr. H. J. Raymond’s elaborate letter declining & nomination to the XLth Congress is before us; and, if it were simply an apology for his course, the Union party would cheerfully accept it. But, in attempt- ing to excuse his errors, Mr. Raymond aggravates them. He has chosen to rehiearse his recent career when hoe might far better have left so delicate a mat- ter alune. A partial confession is worse than none. That Mr. Raymond frequently voted in Congress with the Union party, we know; and that is the very fact which made his subsequent opposition to its principles a political crime. Had he been elected as a Copperhead, no one could have complained that he acted as a Copperhead, and had Judas been one of the Pharisees instead of ono of the disciples, he would not be the worst example that Presidents and Congressmen can follow, It will hardly do to plead past fidelity to a party as anexcuse for present treachery. Yot this Mr, Ray- mond does without blushing. He voted for the Freedmen's Bureau bill because he believed its object of the utmost importance; he sustained the Presi- dent's veto because the existing law will not expire till 1867. How casily an excuse is found when it is needed! Mr. Raymond, on the same principle, voted for the Constitutional Amendment, affecting now to believe its provisions necessary to the safety of the Union, and yet sought to obtain the admission of the Rebel States without requiring that they should ratify it. Did he mnot know that they would merer ratify it, could they get back into the Union without? We thought it was only Mr. Johnson who used the stult argument that the Rebel States should have a voice in determiuing the pepalties of Rebellion, as if a eriminal at the bar should also be a member of the jury. The Constitutional Amendment owes Mr. Ragmond nothing; but its enemies are indebted to him for the direct cncouragement he kave them at the Philadelphia Convention. When his Address declared that Congress had no right to require its adoption of the Rebel States, he yielded the vital point in the whole struggle. Bat Mr. Raymond's letter is more of a desultory narration than an argument, and need not be more closely followed. The gentlemen who offered ! the cbanee of a nomination complimented his st manship before they had read his reply, or they might have been more chary of their praise. Statesmen rarely vote for a bill, and then to sustain a veto thereof, and the country Las not yet forgotten that in 1864 Mr. Raymond opposed the Constitutional Amendment abolishing Slavery, on the ground that it would divide the Union party. That was the grand wre that recreated it, and placed it high above mea all danger of dissolution, the party is divided are unnecessary, for the desertion of Mr. Jobneon and his car-load can scarcely consti- tute a division, even in the opinion of their warmest admirers. That be believes the success of the Demo- cratic party would be & pational calamity, we areelad to know, and only wish that he had thought so whet he tried to secure Gen, Dix's nomination at Albany. Finally, in the enumeration of his reasous for declining a nomination for Congress in the VIth District, we are compelled to thiuk Le has omitted the most potent ~—that he had not the slightest chance of getting it. well as the conntry's, d talents and indus. ed to sustain and strangthon the great and patriotic party he 50 r tly y. Of'that party, the Republic has nor will its mission be complete till Yet we rejoice, for his sake as that Mr. Raymond’ 10 try are henceforth to by still urgent nee the full rights of citizenship are secured to every native sud every naturalized citizen of the United States, and from the St. John to the Rio Graunde, from the Bay of Fundy to Puget's Sound, there shall be no degraded caste, no uv hised people, but the rights. of the whole American People shall have been forever placed under the protection and safeguard of the votes of each aud all. WHAT IS THE NORTH? A native of Virginia, now a wealthy planter in Louisians, who served as a soldier in the Rebel army until the last Confederate division had surrendered, called on us yesterday for political light. He is among those in the South who believe that Rebels and rebellion have been most thoroughly thrashed, and that the people of the Rebel States are in the power of the Government, subject to the will of the victorious defeiiders of the.nation. He believes the Government made a most serious blunder in not de- claring early what should be the punishment for trait- ors, and what the amenities for the people. This was expected. It was required in order to quiet the ap- prebiensions of the conquered people, The delay gave rise to dissensions, created false hopes, and demoral- ized the people in the Rebel States, Still, there is a settled conviction in the minds of the Southern people that they are subject to the will of the North, and must accept the conditions laid down by the victors, must give such guarantees as may be required, must submit to, and adopt whatever amendments to the Constitution the North shall ratify. The only remaining question, therefore, for the Southern people to determine is, “Who are the North 1" They believe the pending canvass and the approaching elections will determine both the answer to the interrogatory aud the future action of the South. The gentleman assured us that nothing, in his opinion, could be more disastrous to the true in- terests of the, South than a close election. * Ifthe Radicals sweep the whole ficld, the Southern people will promptly accept the conditions set forth in the Congressional plan of reconstruction. They want to know whom to follow, and on what strong arm to ! rely for protection. They bave been once deceived, ! and do not wish again to be misled. Whom, there- | fore, the people indorse, in the clections this Fall, the South will trust and obey in the reorganization of their State governments.” The results in Vermont and Maine are forerunners of the mightier works that I'will be doue in October and November throughout the entire North. The Southern people may as well prepare to act accordingly. The question of repudiation is being discussed in the Virginia papers. The State debt of old Virginia is about §$42,000,000; the assets, in the hands of the State Treasurer, consisting principally of railroad stocks, amount to about $15,000,000; the present population of the State is alout one and a quarter millions—of these half a million are freedmen, *The mineral and agricultural wealth of the State is incal. culable, and in the hands of an industrious and en- ergetic people would yield a revenue that would speedily settle the question of solvency, ] Recently Lyrus Drake of Madison County, Ala., was arrested by order of Gen.

NEW-JERSEY. The Republican-Union nominations for Congress were yesterday completed by the selection in the Ist District of WiLLIAM MoORE, esq., of Atlantic County. Mr. Moore is an eminent and estimable citizen, who bas been o zealous Republican from the organization of the party, and will faithfully represent it in the XLth Congress. His election is beyond doubt. The candidates in nomination and the vote of the several Districts in 1564 are as follows: Dist. Rep. Union. Votein'4. Democratic, Vote in'64 1. Wiiliam Moore.

Ward carried the Vth District handsomely, and was only beaten 50 votes in the IVth. Our friends in the Vthhave no doubt of electing Mr. Halsey, while those in the IVth feel great confidence in their ability to giveMr. Hill a majority over Jack Rogers. Mr. Davidson is canvass- ing tho IIId.most effectively, and believes he can carry it. As to the Ist and IId Districts, the only qnestion is as to the magnitude of the Republican- Union majorities. Of the usually close counties, Camden, Essex, Cnion, and Somerset have now to choose Senators for three years, in place of one Republican and three Democrats, snd our frionds hope to reverse the figures, securing them a majority in the Senate for at least two years to come, (The present Senate stands 11to 10). As to the Assembly, they last year changed a majority of 5 against them to one of 10 for them, and they expect to improve on this next November. Gov. Ward's mojority last year was 2,7:0; they expect o increase this now to 5,000. Best of all, New-Jersey, which was formerly fos- siliforons, is now one of the most heartily Radical States in the Union.

RS DEATH OF GEORGE M. SNOW. Georae M. SNow, for many years commercial editor of TaE TRiBUNE, died suddenly yesterday of heart diseass at his residence in this City, in the 55th year of his ago. M. Snow was a vative of Boston, but came to this City soon after his education was completed, and was for soms yoars engaged in mercantile pursuits, devoting his leisuro hours to the lighter walks of litcrature. He married, whilo still young, the elder daughter of the late Nathan Jackson, esq., who, with their five children, survives him. ‘When Tiug TRIBUNE was startod, Mr. Snow, who had long been an intimate friend of the editor, took charge of the Commercial Department, which Le retained for over twenty-two years, during which he was seldom sbsent for a day from Wall-street orthe office, Always meeting the master-spirits of ‘‘the street” as'm gentleman meets his equals, in the conviction that it was quite as important to them as to bim that correct informa- tion regarding their various enterprises should be spread Dbefore the publie, Mr. Snow was among the earliest and most successful of those writers who made the * Money Market” an important and useful department of modern journalism, *The workman dies—the work remains,"” The Riots of 1863, but espec.e.ly the fiendish outrages perpetruted on some unoffending colored people well known to him, made & deep impression on Mr. Snow's mind; apd he departed with his family for Europe soon afterward, hoping to recover that vigor and health which close application had somewhat impaired. He remained abroad over a year, spending a Winter in Rome and some months in Paris; but without permaneut bea= efit; 8o that he did not resume his edito- rial labors after his return; and he ultimately sold his very considerable interest in Tue Trisvse, and turned his attention to certain railroad enterprises, while devoting his leisure honrs to Musie, of which ke was & passionate admirer, But his health steadily falled, and lhe spent the iast Summer near Long Branch to no par- pose, 5o far as its restoration was concerned. We presume be has left his family, to whom Le was most devoted, abundantly blest with worldly goods ; while there are fow among the living who have made more fricuds with fewer enemies, during thirty years of active business ectivity, than George M. Snow. THE REV. DR. FRANCIS L. HAWKS. The Rev. Dr. Hawks died yesterday morning at his residenee in this city, in the 69th year of his age. He died of Bright's disoase of the kidnews.
